Default RE: HELP!! No Deer here

Two things:

Cabbage. Some deer love it, others won't touch it. But when they do love it, look out! I've seen deer travel into rural towns and raid the cabbage piles locals have stock piled for the hunters. They can't sell it all fast enough before the deer wipe it out.

Get a bail of pure alphalfa hay or at least very close to it. Keep the twine around the bail. Set it out by your stand and pour generous amounts of molasses, a bunch of cans of melted apple juice concentrate, and a bottle of vanilla. Saturate the hay with this stuff and you'll have to be careful getting to your stand through all the deer running to it.

Another thing I'm going to try this year is horse sweet feed. It's pelleted food and oats soaked in molasses. It's like cocaine for the horses, so I figure the deer would love it too.

Good luck and good hunting.
